Thank you! I thought I was the only one that hated that crap. Sony doesn't follow and that's why I like their phones. Once I save up, I'll get this and get rid of this ugly and buggy Samsung midrange phone.

Headphones socket and sd card slot. And not having a massive camera hump. It's why I like Sony phones.

sony knows theres a market for bezels, and there great and affordable hard use phones, they run like a champ

That's why their dying :)

Writing from my L3. Still usable, though sometimes it is slow.

It is underspecked and overpriced, the snapdragon 695 is a turd. I bought a xiaomi phone 150 bucks and it is more powerful, has 120hz screen, jack, sd card, ir blaster, nfc, and similar camera quality to this sony if not better

WAKE UP TO REALITY IDC WHAT U SAID BUT THAT JUNK IS A SCAM, it’s even PRICIER THAN NOTHING PHONE 1 AND ITS WORST. POCO F4 and SAMSUNG is BETTER ALTERNATIVE I LEGIT THOUGHT SONY HAD COMEBACK BUT … I misread Xperia 10 Iv and Xperia 1 iv. Thought they were improving 🤦 BIGGEST DISSAPOINTMENT EVER STUPID SCAM

@@user-ev2gv9zk2t This is true, the nothing phone 1 is better value than this, and it's not even particularly good value... Worst phone ever, with 500 budget you could get some crazy stuff

Use that Z5 compact as long as you can man I hade the same one

@@Jbrimbelibap moto edge 30 is even better buy. after some dicounts, probably can get it for like 300 USD. sont pricing is just weird.

true 5 inch was cool i wanted to buy a samung a3 i think 4.7 inch but got a nokia over 5 because of value now a 6.4 because of value and some new phones are 6.7

Aspect ratios & bezels have changed. These six inch phones feel relatively comparable to the phones you have mentioned. E.g. the Xperia 10 IV in this video is just 2mm wider than the XZ1 Compact. It's taller yeah, but that's not what makes a phone feel huge.

Xperia is the best for ram management and optimization.

Fast charge does not degrade battery life

@@evenito9455 it slightly does. can't add link bcs i think antispam will ban me, but you can google it

@@kingfisher_imperialist what degrades battery life is battery heat. Fast charging itself does not necessarily add more heat, you would need to look at the phones individually. I disagree with your blanket statement «it slightly does»

@@evenito9455 faster charge degrades battery life in both meanings

@@Noooo23523 source: trust me bro

Im also looking at the Xperia 10 IV but here in Sweden you can get the Google Pixel 6A for the same price, I do not think the Sony is as good ?

@@mathias6423 I don't know

@@mathias6423 You're getting the Sony for the form factor and battery life. Pixel 6A is faster and takes better photos. What's your priority?

@@hidan9402 Hey Dan! With form factor you mean the 21:9 screen ratio on the Sony ? Since they are about the same compact 6" size screen which is a huge plus in my book. If faster, camera, battery life and the compact size and above 60hz refresh rate screen is a priority, do you have any other suggestion than these two phones ? Can be a bit more expensive but not double the price. The Asus Zenfone 9 is the phone that has everything I want and is compact like these two phones discussed above but it is too expensive for me. The Sony Xperia 5 IV is a close second to Zenfone 9 but also around 750-800 euro in Sweden. I have the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro right now and I have come to hate it, the almost 6,7" display is more than too much, the camera is useless, the display is not oled/amoled/looks pretty bad. However the battery life is good at 5160 mAh, the display has 120hz refresh rate and the phone is quite a bit faster than the Sony Xperia 10 IV so to answer the question, between the 10 IV and Pixel 6A the Pixel would be the choice. I was at the local store the other day and tried them both, the 60hz refresh rate on both these phones compared to my 120hz felt like a pretty huge downgrade though =( Both pixel 6a and 10IV is right below 300 euros right now in Sweden so do you think there is something better for me below 500 euros ?

@@mathias6423 right now nothing beats the 10 IV in the battery department, however pixel 6a is definitely faster and takes the best photos under 500 euro. A lot of mid rangers sport 90-120hz displays but they don't come close to the battery life of the 10 IV, or the photo quality of the 6a. A53 sports 120hz, but not sure if the camera or the battery is up to par with the two

Wait for the Xperia 5 Mark IV. The 5 series is compact (same size as this one), but has flagship specs.

I got the 5 III last month, coming from XZ2 Compact. The 5 III is certainly a premium phone, but honestly I think it's too big and I don't really enjoy using it. I miss 5 inch phones with 16:9 ratio. I hope we can get the Xperia Ace 3 to work in America, I might give it a try.

@@dhruvtukadiya 5 series are compact phones with flagship specs but aren't they getting too hot? Excuse me if I am wrong but this is the information that is represented in all the reviews 🤔

@@pakito936 no, that is just Qualcomm chips in general, there was a scandal this year with Samsung about that as well. Xperia 5 actually generates less heat than 1 because they don't have 4K screens.

Compact would be like 5.5" Its small phone in world of "tablets" like i call other huge phones There are only few options if you want to get brand new 6" phone with decent specs and this Sony is one of them Its on my wishlist Currently using XZ2 Compact and its rare to see someone with such small phone nowadays 😎

😂 but his voice still can't compared to Flossy's

the specs are trash, why. and it's big bezels mean it;s same size as 6.2" phone

@@roboticvenom1935 because everyone has different preferences when it comes to phones. It isn't so black and white. Believe it or not, this phone ticks more boxes for me than an S22 Ultra does.

@@alexvdl1 if you need jack get a52s, this is brainless.

@@roboticvenom1935 who cares what cpu the phone has? There is no software that takes advantages of flagship smartphone chips. What you would even do with ine if this phone had flagshio cpu? Play candy crush at 4k? Play minesweeper? Android gaming is trash and the only thing that phones are used for is social media, listening to music, watching videos and taking some pictures once or twice in a year..

only few gripe to me is missing high refresh rate at least 90hz is enough.

6a has extreme procesing power, 10 iv has extreme battery life

What about the Xperia 5 iv?

@@slugfest9685 Not officially announced yet.

​@@slugfest9685 Yeah you could say that, some wish it was a bit cheaper which is understandable.

Would the OnePlus Nord 2 CE not offer that?

I want the Sony Ace 3 but looks like it's going to be a domestic Japanese release only again. I can't understand why they don't release in outside of Japan, it would be the perfect alternative to the iPhone SE

Sony XZ1 Compact is 65mm wide, while Sony Xperia 10IV is 67mm wide. With far better Body:Screen ratio and the 21:9 display it really isn't that big of a phone.

That's why I stocked up on LG G8 and V50 - they go for pennies, about 150 USD nowadays for mint condition

@@pcprincipal9889 I agree, probably a contract with NTT which makes it exclusive.

@@shuseikus1682 ok

USB C 2.0 .... probably not.

usb c 3.1

I feel you! Same opinion. But check out the "asus zenfone 8" or even the new one, zenfone 9. Will be presented in 2 days i think. I'm using the p30. Its really great. But i want something smaller, lighter with better battery and dual sound. And it has to be Android, since i'm not such a big fan of Apple (iOs).

I think the same

You did it right, as I was a sony xperia 10 (4114) 2019 user, I tried to try the google pixel 6a. But really knowing that my Sony has lasted me 5 years, I went back for the Sony. I really think it's for an informed public. For example, I prefer to invest in a good codec than in a double speaker, in a resistant construction and screen, than to add things that will never really be used, nowadays I give more importance to the glass of the screen than anything else.

Samsung phones are now giving 4-5 years of android security updates. Even the $200 A14. Not sure about Sony though.
